Public Records - As enacted, authorizes the comptroller of the treasury to publish certain survey data that is otherwise deemed confidential. - Amends TCA Section 10-7-504.
HB 418 amends Tennessee law to allow the state comptroller of the treasury to publish certain survey data that was previously confidential. Specifically, it permits the comptroller to share aggregated survey results and responses that cannot identify individual participants, while keeping all other sensitive details protected. This change directly affects the comptroller’s office, which can now make anonymized survey data publicly available, and individuals who provide survey responses. The bill does not apply to surveys conducted by the Office of Open Records Counsel.
